Comparison of Immunochemical (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) and Immunohistochemical Methods for the Detection of Central Nervous System Tissue in Meat Products

摘要

We read with interest the article by Hossner et al. in the March 2006 issue of the Journal of Food Protection. The stated purpose of this study was to compare two separate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based methods to the immunohistochemical method used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) to detect central nervous system (CNS) tissue and dorsal root ganglia (DRG).
